Even before personal computers (i.e. years before Apple II) a teen tried Control-C to terminate a maze printing program running on a computer during Engineering Expo at Univ. Wis. — thankfully someone who had previously survived “trial by fire” … I mean “middle schooler” … had disabled things like this in advance (the look on the boy’s face was SO shocked when nothing crashed! ;-).

As mentioned most destruction is accidental as I’ve learned volunteering at McFarland Youth Center ( https://www.mcfarlandyouthcenter.org/ ) so things need to be build tough and easily repairable – it will be needed !
